Oh yeah when I call the police because I got assaulted I would love a case worker to come and talk down to me about the sociology of crime. Just what we need!

What exactly do you want them to do when they show up after you’ve been assaulted and they left?

This is funny to me because someone I'm close to called the cops after an assault and they literally just talked down to her and left. What's been your experience with this?

Police behavior is highly regional and subjective, with a sprinkling of just plain randomness (bad day? good day? roll the dice, armed and privileged either way!)

Somehow McDonalds is able to make the same burger everywhere in the country but getting cops to act in a way that makes bad situations better with any level of consistency is apparently impossible.
They certainly don't have uniform customer service across the country, and that's a much more appropriate comparison IMO.

Maybe, just maybe, police work is a little bit more complicated than making the same shitty mushed frozen burger in a kitchen somewhere to be microwaved for 30 seconds and given to me.
